Artist: Alan Davie
Artwork: Hot Night No. 2
Year: 1976
Medium: Watercolour on Paper
Size: 98 × 72 cm
Created in 1976, Hot Night No. 2 is an atmospheric work by Alan Davie, demonstrating the freedom, energy and instinctive approach that characterised his practice.
Sweeping passages of red, orange, pink and yellow emerge from a deep, earthy ground, punctuated by expressive splashes and gestural marks. The composition feels spontaneous and rhythmic, with layers of translucent colour creating a remarkable sense of depth and movement.
Davie’s close relationship with jazz and improvisation was fundamental to his approach to painting. Rather than following a predetermined composition, he worked intuitively, allowing colour, gesture and form to develop organically across the surface.
Hot Night No. 2 captures this sense of immediacy beautifully — a dynamic and expressive work from an important period in Davie’s career.
Price: POA
